Throughout this series, we are offering a special 6-week experience. These materials are structured to provide a safe space for you to process your journey through the pandemic. They will guide us through unpacking the experiences of the last year and utilize the reflection model developed in our Pathway ministry.
A printout of materials is available at the Melrose campus office or can be mailed upon request to jvincent@broadwayunited.org
